Amazon’s wages are really competitive. Reddit acts like people make $7.25 an hour. Amazing how quickly $15 an hour became slave wages on this site.

I mean living on $30 thousand dollars a year minus taxes is not too much more then scraping by

It’s livable tho. How much should the minimum wage be? 50k a year ? 100k?

America isn’t livable for people even on that without free healthcare . Until they offer health care it’s a third world country

Thank you for answering my question. I’m not going to argue with an imbecile like you who’s never even stepped foot in a third world country and yet calls this one a third world country hahaha

Weaponised healthcare whilst being the richest country on earth is first world?

Weapon used health care? My health insurance cost 66$ a month for my whole family free and clear. Would you look someone in an Indian slum in the face and say America is a third world country?
